What Is Container Leasing?

Read full article here...

 

Containers are large shipping devices that can be utilized on land and on sea with equal ease. The uniform shape and dimensions of containers makes it very easy to secure the devices to a flatbed trailer or rail car and move goods across highway or rail systems. Containers can also be stacked and secured in place on barges, making them ideal for water transport. While some companies choose to purchase containers, others find that container leasing is more practical and cost-effective.

Container leasing involves entering into a working agreement with a container supplier. The supplier agrees to deliver a minimum number of containers to the client, with the understanding that the containers will be used for a specified time and at a rate documented within the terms of the lease agreement. Both the supplier and the customer will also agree to other terms and conditions required by applicable laws, and any other negotiations made between the two entities.

One of the main benefits to container leasing is the flexibility that is often built into the lease agreement. Often, suppliers and clients agree upon a minimum number of containers to be in the possession of the client for the duration of the lease. However, additional containers can be requested and delivered for use when and as the customer needs them. It is not unusual for discount leasing fees to be applied to those extra containers. As a result, the customer only keeps what is needed on hand, but has immediate access to additional containers with only minimal expense involved.
